create directory/ change directory

[Fairlight]

$PWD is probably wherever you're running filePro from (probably its /fp
directory), which may not be on Q: at all. 

Windows is screwy in that you can't directly chdir to a directory on
another drive and have it act correctly, at least at a command prompt.  If
you're at the command prompt, you have to first issue the drive letter and
then do the cd.  If you do try the cd to a directory on another drive, it
remembers where you did the cd to, but it doesn't actually change your $PWD
to that until you issue the drive letter change.

Best advice:  Always use explicit paths, and try not to ever need to cd
into another directory.  You'll save yourself many headaches.
